Fighting out of La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines, Jon Chris “Happy Feet” Corton, 26, is the latest mixed martial artist from the topnotch MMA team, Team Lakay, to join Brave Combat Federation. The Filipino fighter will make his debut in the Bahrain-based MMA promotion at “Brave 16.”

Taking place at the Mubadala Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on September 21, 2018, “Brave 16” will feature 11 bouts. In the first bout of the evening, Corton will compete in the flyweight division against Hussein “Iron” Ayyad, 24, of Bahrain.

Corton currently holds a professional MMA record of 5 wins and 3 losses. He is riding a two-bout winning streak.
